SHORTCAKE
Make a German "Blatterteig"; spread thinly over a baking pan about one foot square.
Insert the strawberries about one inch apart and cover lightly with sugar.
Bake slowly. 1½ cups flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup lard Ice water Mix with the ice water and roll out.
This constitutes the "Blatterteig."
Mix salt with flour and cut in shortening with knife. These pigeons in the picture are in no danger from me of being "baked in a pie," as I prefer vegetarian diet.
